Christmas fluff #1

"I still do not quite understand why you wanted to cut a tree down only to bring it inside the apartment." Killian grumbled as he attempted again to push the huge tree through the doorway that seemed much too small for the feat. "I mean couldn't you have just visited the tree outside instead? At least then we wouldn't have had to kill it."

"You are cute. Anyone ever tell you how cute you are?" Emma teased from the other side of the tree.

"Actually, no. Mostly people tend to tell me how handsome I am or how charming." He paused. "Or in your case, you usually tell me—"

"Uh guys, can we not talk like that in front of the child?" Henry piped in. "Killian, a little to the right, Mom grab that branch so you will have more leverage." The boy instructed being the captain of the tree-buying excursion.

"Noted." Killian heard Emma muffle into the tree, with the sound of her smile laced through the single word. With a push from Killian and another tug from Emma they had the tree finally into the small apartment.

"Well done Henry." He praised him still holding onto the tree holding it upright while Emma brushed pine needles from her sweater.

"Thanks- but I think you did most of the work." He scoffed.

"I don't know about that kid, without your leadership skills I think Killian and I would have still been trying to get that tree into the apartment." Emma told him with a shared look and smile with Killian.

"Without a doubt." Killian agreed. "Now where do you want this monster of a tree?" He asked Henry letting him take the lead once again.

"I think right over here by the window is the perfect place, then everyone can see it from the street too." Henry said excitedly walking over to the spot he indicated.

"Okay, grab the tree stand and we will set it up." Emma told Henry. Running from the room he went in search of the stand from one of the boxes of Christmas decorations they had be given.

"Wouldn't it have made more sense to have the tree stand out before we brought up the tree?" Killian asked with a teasing smile.

"I suppose but then I couldn't do this." Emma told him as she wrapped her arms around his waist and met his waiting lips with her own. Nipping at his lips and tasting the remains of the hot chocolate they had all had at Granny's a short time ago, she smiled at what her life had become. So normal. With a family she had always wanted.

"Mmm, bad form love, I only have one hand and it is preoccupied holding up this tree." He murmured against her mouth when her hands traveled lower and palmed his behind beneath his leather jacket.

"I found it. Sorry it took so long. It was in the bottom of the box." They heard Henry's voice before he came back into the room. Breaking away, Emma smiled up at Killian and mouthed 'later.'

After the tree was set up, Henry helped Killian bring out all of the boxes of decorations. "I'm not sure I understand this custom you have in this world. Cutting down a perfectly good tree to bring it inside and put lights and little bulbs on it. For a man named Santa to come and bring presents and put them under the tree. How does he make it to all the houses? What sort of magic does he use if this world doesn't have magic?"

Laughing Henry looked at his Mom and she grinned back; it was going to be a fun Christmas with a brand new believer in the house. "He has elves that help him make toys and candy all through the year. He even makes a list of naughty and nice children. If you are naughty then you will only get coal in your stocking. And he has nine flying Reindeer's that fly his sleigh." Henry explained in an excited way. It was almost the same way he explained the stories from the storybook he had first shown her trying to get her to believe.

"Well then I am sure to get coal in my stocking." Killian laughed at the story.

"On Christmas Eve we need to leave out a plate of cookies for him and a cup of milk. Sometimes you can even leave a few carrots out for his Reindeer because they get really hungry too." Henry continued. "Santa always gives second chances and I'm sure coming to Neverland to rescue me would put you on the Nice list."

"I don't know Henry, Killian is pretty Naughty." Emma said teasing Killian with her words. The look that flashed in her eyes indicated approval of his naughty ways causing him to smirk a bit.

"Don't listen to her Henry." Killian laughed and pulled her into his arms giving her a hug and a quick kiss on her nose. "Of course I'm on the nice list, as Henry just said, I did help to rescue him. I wonder what sort of present Santa will bring me for that good deed."

"I guess you will have to wait and see. But I have a surprise for you both." Emma told him pulling back from him. Her hand went to rest on her stomach. "I'm pregnant. I was going to wait to tell everyone at the Christmas party on Friday, but I wanted to share it with my two most important boys first." She smiled at them both. The look of pure shock on Killian's face made her think that telling him like she just did might have been a mistake. Until a grin broke out on his face and he was smothering her with kisses and laughing in his joy.

"A Baby! We are going to have a baby!" Killian cheered looking to Henry to include him in the celebration.

"I'm going to be a big brother? I've wanted to be a big brother my whole life!" Henry broke in with a smile and then he wrapped his arms around them both. "This is going to be the best Christmas ever!"

"It sure is kid, it sure is." Emma sighed in her happiness.
